DescriptionNVD

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

rust_binder: avoid reading the written value in offsets array

When sending a transaction, its offsets array is first copied into the target proc's vma, and then the values are read back from there. This is normally fine because the vma is a read-only mapping, so the target process cannot change the value under us.

However, if the target process somehow gains the ability to write to its own vma, it could change the offset before it's read back, causing the kernel to misinterpret what the sender meant. If the sender happens to send a payload with a specific shape, this could in the worst case lead to the receiver being able to privilege escalate into the sender.

The intent is that gaining the ability to change the read-only vma of your own process should not be exploitable, so remove this TOCTOU read even though it's unexploitable without another Binder bug.

AnalysisAI

Time-of-check-to-time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition in Linux kernel's rust_binder implementation allows local authenticated attackers with low privileges to escalate privileges. The flaw exists in transaction offset array handling where values copied to a target process's read-only VMA are read back without protection against concurrent modification. …

RemediationAI

Within 24 hours: Identify all systems running Linux kernel versions prior to 6.18.19, 6.19.9, or 7.0 that use rust_binder (check kernel configuration and active module status). Within 7 days: Patch affected systems to kernel 6.18.19, 6.19.9, or 7.0 or later, prioritizing servers and endpoints with high-value applications. …
